Could you also make a squash 4 to squash 3 convertor so when an existing sfs has been converted and worked on it can then be converted back to squash 3 so that it is useable in all the previous and some current puppies? Or simply to convert a squash 4 so that it can be used in puppy 1, 2, 3 and 4
I foresee confusion....

Thanks for this great little converter. I'm posting using an opera10.sfs on Pup 4.3.0 after using your converter. Also operating are OO3, FF3, and KDE358 whose sfs were converted with your program. Naturally, FF3 crashed after an update to 3.0.13 but that's a characteristic of 430 with firefox.

Thanks again for this and your many other useful contributions. I hope that a .pet converter will be next. EDIT: Just showing my ignorance concerning .pets.

@Mike
It already does that, v 3 to 4, and v 4 to 3 (you didn't read carefully). Sfs v 4 works for 430 and sfs v 3 works for 421-under (4 series). I don't know 3 and 2 series.

@jim1911
Aaah Good that it;s useful. Pet converter? Why do we need that? 430 and 421-under (also I think 3 and 2) dot pets are compatible (the pet itself). BUT the applications inside the pet is a whole different story. It just depends how you compile/make the apps. There can't be a converter for that, you just need to compile again from source

@Lobster
It took me about 2,5 hours, and yeah, I decided to make this, one of the reason is you when posting in bugs thread about incompatible sfs files you have

Bonjour,
I like very much this little app.
When you want to mount a SFS file (bad version) in ROX, may be is it possible to modify /usr/sbin/filemnt to launch SFSconvert and convert the SFS file and then mount it.

Sure it's possible, but I do not want to interfere with Barry's current work with filemnt. You need to alter individually. You look for the warning line:

NOTICE: this is an older version of etc etc

When you found it, just put this under it:
exec /usr/local/sfsconvert/sfsconvert &

Yeah, it's a dirty hack...

Edit: you mean auto convert then mount it? Yes, possible, but I don't think I want to make it that way, if it is not a native app. The reason is like I said above, it will be useless if the filemnt is not altered._________________My apps

Bonjour à tous,
Thank you very much for your answer. This has been very useful
Then, could you possibly provide the part of script to add up for automounting the SFS file after processing?

Good job. For various reasons I stay at the puppy cutting edge whenever possible. I studied your code and was very impressed that you did it in 2.5 hours.
It is interesting that your respond to needs that people express.
Really appreciate this and other work you are doing._________________Puppy WIKI
